Cold homes can be a major factor affecting the health and well-being of occupiers leading to damp & mould growth, an increased likelihood of falls (particularly amongst those who are older and frail), and a marked effect on the mental health of others. There are a number of funding streams that agencies can use to help clients living in cold homes with the physical measures that are needed.

Our Gas Safe Charity funding makes a huge difference to the lives of so many people across the country. This year, 51 agencies have been awarded funding through FILT to help support their clients with Gas Safety interventions, so we checked in to find out how they were spending the money and how this was benefiting their clients.
